Surah 46:15
"We have charged each person (to do) good to his parents – his mother bore him with difficulty, and she delivered him with difficulty – his bearing and his weaning are thirty months – until, when he reaches his maturity, and reaches forty years, he says, ‘My Lord, (so) dispose me that I may be thankful for your blessing with which You have blessed me and my parents, and that I may do righteousness pleasing to You, and do right by me concerning my descendants. Surely I turn to You (in repentance), and surely I am one of those who submit.’"

Opposing Verses
Surah 31:14 → "We have charged the human concerning his parents – his mother bore him in weakness upon weakness, and his weaning took two years – ’Be thankful to Me and to your parents. To Me is the (final) destination.’"
Does the Quran state that weaning takes two years or a different duration? One verse states that weaning takes two years, while another states that the combined duration of bearing and weaning is thirty months.
